Westboro Baptist Church to picket Kim Davis:

http://www.advocate.com/religion/2015/10/16/westboro-baptist-church-protest-workplace-kim-davis

quote:

If Kim Davis received mercy from God and grace, as she claims, she would, with all due haste put her sin away. She would mourn for her sins, and in a show of great mercy, she would be busy apologizing to the fags for enabling them, and she would, with all diligence, give those perverts a marriage license.

Is this real? It appears to be saying that she should in fact be giving out the marriage licenses to gay couples, which as far as I know, is not consistent with the usual ideas espoused by the WBC.

that article is retarded because as far as i know, "legal limit" is propaganda to get more people to drive drunk so the state can make more revenue on charging people with dwi

everyone I know who has been stopped by police while driving and took a breathalyzer who blew over 0.000 has been arrested on the spot

I'm fairly confident that this is not the case, and that if you're not a minor or a commercial driver, it is perfectly legal to drive at less than .08% BAC.

Sure you can. Any time you prove anything you prove "the negative" of everything that's mutually exclusive with it.

The whole idea of "a negative" has no basis in any kind of logic anyway. There's no set of "negatives."

The whole Shkreli mainly goes to show that the whole idea of a bail system is hosed up. Someone gets to hang around at home instead of in jail just because theyre rich? like, how openly unfair to the poor can you guys make your "justice" system really after youve added that? It is loving ridiculous.

The idea of bail is that it should be set at an amount that the person in jail would be able to pay but unwilling to leave behind, as a means of ensuring that they show up for trial. In principle, a reasonable amount for this should be possible whether you're poor or rich (though if you're truly without any tangible assets, it does kind of break down). Quiet collusion with the bail bond industry tends to result in unreasonable bail amounts being set for poorer people, though.

Like so much else, it's a perfectly fine idea on paper. You're innocent until proven guilty, so we don't want to throw you in jail, but if you are guilty, you could take the opportunity to skip town, so we'll take a sizeable deposit as discouragement. Above posters have already detailed why it doesn't work in execution.

There are definite flaws with the execution, but eliminating bail entirely would be even worse, if we're concerned about the poor.

Is there irony in the fact that the headline says they're "spelling out the N-word with their shirts" when in fact it's effectively one of those semi-censored versions, not actually spelled out?

Yes, obviously, but if the reason for that drop in value is the bizarre habits of coin collectors rather than something more fundamental in what the person did, it reflects less on the guy than on who he's trying to sell it to.

I learned just yesterday that Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were born within a year of each other. Holy poo poo.

The funniest thing about that whole birther horseshit is that even if it was all true, even if Obama was born amidst a pack of hyenas in the deepest, darkest, most Muslim jungles of Kenya, with HD cameras filming the whole thing and a birth certificate signed by Idi loving Amin, he's still a natural-born American citizen because his mother is American.

Hey, if you're born outside America, you're not a real American.

Also, if you're born inside America, but your parents aren't legally American, you're still not a real American.

There are no real Americans.

Wow, holy poo poo. I have explained that term incorrectly to many people over the last several years, somehow having come to believe it applied broadly to basically everything instead of computer-generated poo poo. I frequently wake up from dreams with the same sort of unease associated with the actual phenomenon so I guess I just assumed many people have the same thing, at least occasionally.

I guess the schadenfreude is me, and I refuse to give it up so one of you is going to have to kill me in order to get it, next time you gently caress something up. I'll be waiting.

It's not just computer-generated stuff - dolls, for example, or ventriloquist dummies, can easily be subject to it - but it is pretty much specific to imitations of the human form.

No. "You $thing!" takes a noun.

Compare: "you clown" (noun, sounds natural); "you tall" (adjective, me jane, how can English)

"You are $thing" takes an adjective, though, which is at least what got quoted.

quote:

You will destroy him in every way because you are female and family courts hate males.

Male, on the other hand, is being used as a noun there.

Uhhhh, Venezuela's attempts at socialist policies weren't left to explode on their own merits. That country was heavily meddled with, including a coup attempt by the old moneyed elite(with suspected U.S. involvement). Chavez acted like a paranoid nut, but he was trying to reform a country on the continent where the CIA wrote its puppet government playbook.

That's like saying Ukraine moving toward joining the Euro zone caused their civil war.

I'm not an expert in Venezuela's domestic politics or economy, but it seems unlikely that a failed coup attempt in 2002 would have much direct relationship to water and power shortages in 2016.
